Mark your walls, then, Extras---->Wall extras-----> then choose the appropriate wall extra.

HTH.

yes - he meant that. extras>wall acessories... choose 'battered wall.' be sure to have your wall selected first.

the other option is to use solid element operations - make your wall thicker than it needs to be and then subtract two sloping roofs from it. the floor plan representation won't come out right though. these methods have been discussed before here on the forum. use the search button at the top and you'll see a whole host of detailed descriptions on how to achieve this. unfortunately they're all workarounds . . . we're still waiting for graphisoft to give us something from which to produce this kind of architecture efficiently and easily . . .
